SBR Connects: In-Studio Performances

SBR’s John Bradley goes to an in-studio performance for this SBR Connects video. Not just any in-studio performance, but in KBCO’s famous Studio C. They’ve been in their new Denver studio location for a year but Studio C has been around for over 20 years hosting hundreds of musicians.

What is it about an in-studio performance at a radio station that’s so cool? In-studio performances, a regular occurrence at the Adult Rock radio format nationally, are one of the programming elements that make Adult Rock radio stations so different from other stations and other radio formats.

In this SBR Connects video we hear from the KBCO staff, including Program Director Scott Arbough, singer/songwriter Mat Kearney and Mat’s manager Gregg Latterman.
